About
The Chinese word "恶棍" is formed by directly combining the character for "evil" (恶), which conveys malice or wickedness, with the character for "stick" or "cudgel" (棍), an object traditionally associated with beating or violence. This pairing creates a vivid metaphorical image where the "stick" symbolizes a tool of harm, and when attributed to a person, it evokes the idea of someone who embodies and dispenses evil like a weapon, thus naturally coming to mean a villain, ruffian, or scoundrel.
